The property was originally a jailhouse/jailer's residence, now it is converted to represent the history of early settlers with exquisite displays which will take you back in time. A newer addition to the museum hosts mesmerizing art exhibits. The museum also has a variety of books on current exhibits, fossils and boating. This building is located a 5 minute walk from the marina.
